How The Therapy Process Works
Getting to know each other in therapy is crucial for building a powerful therapeutic relationship. This relationship can support your personal growth, challenge you, help you to gain insights, and overall enhance the effectiveness of therapy. Here are three steps to facilitate this process:
Open Dialogue and Sharing
Initial Conversations:
We will begin with having open and honest conversations about your background, experiences, and current concerns. We will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, what your goals are, and any specific issues you wish to address.
Explore Expectations and Preferences
Clarify Expectations: We will discuss what your expectations are for therapy and what you hope to achieve. I will regularly ask for feedback on how sessions are going and make any adjustments to ensure your therapy process is comfortable and effective.
Build Trust and Rapport
Consistency and Reliability: Regular attendance and consistent engagement in therapy helps build trust and reliability. Being honest and vulnerable about your experiences will help foster a deeper connection and create a more genuine rapport.
